  • Medium- and long-chain triglyceride (MCT/LCT) propofol is widely used as an intravenous anesthetic, especially in the intensive care unit. The present study aimed to assess whether MCT/LCT propofol is safe in the hyperlipidemic population for long-term use. Free fatty acids (FFAs) were used to establish high-fat stimulation of HepG2 and Huh7 cells. Subsequently, these cells were treated with propofol at the concentration of 0, 4, or 8 ㎍/ml for 24 and 48 h. The results indicated that the cell viability was notably decreased when the cells were stimulated with 2 mmol/L FFAs and treated with 12 ㎍/ml MCT/LCT propofol. Accordingly, we chose 2 mmol/L FFAs along with 4 and 8 ㎍/ml MCT/LCT propofol for the subsequent experiments. Four and 8 ㎍/ml MCT/LCT propofol inhibited FFA-induced lipid accumulation in the cells and significantly reversed acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) activity. In addition, MCT/LCT propofol not only significantly promoted the phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC, but also reversed the FFA-induced decreased phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC. In conclusion, MCT/LCT propofol reverses the negative effects caused by FFAs in HepG2 and Huh7 cells, indicating that MCT/LCT propofol might positively regulate lipid metabolism.

  • microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression through post-transcriptional interactions with mRNA. miRNAs have recently emerged as key regulators of various cancers. Although miR-27a has been implicated in several other cancers, its role in hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unknown. In this study, we showed miR-27a to be frequently up-regulated in HCC tissues and HCC cell lines (HepG2 and Huh7). Overexpression of miR-27a enhanced cell proliferation, promoted migration and invasion, and activated cell cycling in HepG2 and Huh7 cells. In summary, our results suggest that up-regulation of miR-27a may play an oncogenic role in the development of HCC and might thus be a new therapeutic target in HCC patients.

  • In this study, a function that informs the trash can users about daily collectable trash types and the visiting schedule of collection trucks with an application-based push alarms is proposed along with other function that lets the user to receive the information regarding the volume of trash cans located near his/her residence and monthly average trash volume once the user registers his/her personal information online. This functions are used for the UX design between smart trash can and users. The proposed system allows trash collection trucks to find the most efficient path from their current positions by finding out users' trash can volumes in advance. The UX design and the smart trash can system proposed in this study aim to improve the trash processing efficiency by allowing users to check the volume of their trash.

  • 점차 늘어나는 클라우드 서비스 이용률과 더불어 보안 위협 또한 증가하고 공격 방법 또한 다양해지고 있다. 하지만 클라우드 환경에서 보안사고가 발생했을 시 대응을 위한 조치나 정책은 여전히 미흡한 실정이다. 보안사고 대응을 위한 디지털 포렌식에 대한 연구를 통해 많은 해결 방법이 제시되고 있으나 클라우드 환경에서는 가상화 기술이 적용되어 있어 기존의 방법으로 증거의 수집 및 보관에 대한 무결성 증명이 까다롭다. 본 논문에서는 클라우드 서비스 이용자가 제공자로부터 서비스를 제공받는 클라우드 환경에서 보안사고 사후 대응을 위한 신뢰성 있는 데이터 수집 구조를 제안한다.

  • The azygos anterior cerebral artery, a rare anomaly in the circle of Willis in which only a single vessel supplies the medial aspects of both anterior cerebral hemispheres, is closely associated with saccular aneurysms. We present three cases of azygos anterior cerebral artery aneurysms among the 781 cerebral aneurysms surgically treated at our institution in an 11-year period. These three cases all involved elderly women who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conventional cerebral angiography and CT angiography revealed small saccular aneurysms at the distal ends of the azygos anterior cerebral arteries. These aneurysms were clipped successfully using a bifrontal interhemispheric approach. Hence, the pathogenesis of these particular aneurysms relating to hemodynamic change, associated anomalies, and surgical pitfalls is discussed with review of literature.
